Live levels for New Mexico's waters — Elephant Butte, Navajo, Conchas, Ute and the Rio Chama chain. Every tube shows the normal pool, the current level, the lake's two signature fish (hover for the species, click for 2026 tournaments), and a live bite gauge at left. Scroll down for the San Juan & Rio Chama trout tailwaters, the catfish rivers, and the Rio Grande & Chama float rivers.

The San Juan below Navajo Dam is one of America's great tailwaters — trophy rainbow and brown in the Quality Waters. Add the Rio Chama below El Vado & Abiquiu and the little Cimarron. The cylinder shows live flow (cfs), low = wadeable, high = fast water. Hover a trout for the species; tap it for a guide.
The San Juan and Chama run on dam release; always check the schedule before wading.
The lower Rio Grande and Pecos give up channel and flathead catfish. Live river stage (ft) with action and flood marked. Hover a cat for the species; tap it for a guide.
The Rio Grande through the Taos Box and the Wild & Scenic Rio Chama — trout and whitewater. Live USGS gage height (ft); each tube marks FLOAT, EXPERT and FLOOD. Hover a fish; tap it for an outfitter.
These rivers are runoff- and release-driven — the Rio Grande spikes in spring melt, the Chama runs on scheduled releases.
